Made with love Boozy orange cake truffles ready to ship out ‘Tis the time to share sweet somethings with all near and dear... in real and in virtual. With the Holidays upon us, how can any kitchen go without the aromas of fresh baked goodies? So here we are, baking away... with these simple yet decadent cake truffles. Simply put they are your cake pops made classy and grown up. Bake or buy plain or pound cake of your choice. Size - 8 inch round/square or load. If baking, add some orange zest to the batter. Once cake is done, crumble it up good. Add to crumbled cake approx 1/4 to 1/2 cup of cream cheese, a dash of Grand Marnier or any orange liqueur and some orange zest (especially if your cake didn’t have that). Mix well, shape into 1 inch balls and put in freezer for about 15 minutes. In the meantime, melt chocolate melts or baking chocolate or chocolate chips over double boiler or in the microwave. Microwave - do 30 seconds at a time, stir and repeat till done. Dip the cold cake balls in the melted chocolate using 2 forks and gently slide them on a parchment paper lined tray to set. They should set in minutes. Top with your favorite finishing sugars, sprinkles, candies, etc. I topped these with gold leaf and my homemade blend of spiced cocoa finishing sugar. Box or plate and these are ready to be popped in your mouth. From the plated expressions kitchen... sending you love and good vibes as the Holiday week kicks off. Make it. Share it.
